@Yiing They were the best!

Huge thanks to EPI for helping to organise this entire event. Without you, we’d be a big mess.

Stay tuned - we’ll be sharing a link for photos you can download :)

That’s it from us here at #icpmesg! We hope it was a fruitful discussion, and that you are more inspired to tackle the issue on marine plastics!

[icpmesg @icpmesg]

Thought-provoking discussion from the Panel: ‘How do we determine what we want to regulate in a circular economy? How do we regulate products that are made in one place but used somewhere else? Do we need an international body?’

[icpmesg @icpmesg]

Our expert panelist! ‘Is the circular economy feasible in our society?’

[icpmesg @icpmesg]

Consensus from everyone ‘PLASTIC IS NOT BAD’. We just have to think of the way that we use it. Is it sustainable?? Can it be brought back into the circular economy?

Change is only possible if we do it together!!

bioplastics and biodegradable plastics may offer a partial solution, but a full overview of benefits versus the issues are still required.
